My Y56 Type r facelift


Get coilovers! Dont bother with spring there ****! Its worth spending the extra 400-500 euro and getting coilys!

Moneys tight with the build to be honest. ! mugen suspention on it at the moment so i might just wait till i can get proper coilovers for it.


red h's for the win mate! proper smart clean car bud!

Was thinking more for the yellow ?

Thanks for the comments
 
RED H'S!!! lol.

Car looks awesome. As said, coilies and it will look perfect. Love yellow 9's
 
Bit of an update on this 1 !

Picked up a few nice parts lately.
firstly i decided to remove the X brace an sell up. So that's prov sold with a deal on spoiler tilt brackets which i should have tuesday. Bought new rear plastics to freshen up the boot. No more holes.

Next on the list was a spoon N1 after seeing in on a few 9's on here. Bought it off an ek9 but as some of you might have seen it does not fit for some reason. Im undecided of what to do with it but will get a thread up later to get your opinions.

With spoon on the brain i went about getting a set of super low rails. Fitted the drivers side 1 so far an f**c me there like sitting on the floor. Undecided of what to do with them yet because im not the tallest of young-felas.

The car is now half off the road while i get a few things sorted. Driving a wee starlet for the time being :p

Plans now are to get the whole car gleaming both inside and out as the seats alone are a disgrace :( the rear is all stripped and should begin the cleaning early morning.
Also due a good service among a few other vtec goodies ;)

A selection of pictures to keep ye all busy.
All comments are welcome :nice:

Rocker cover looks like a new one, where did you buy the red wrinkle paint?
Do you have a link??
 
I got some red wrinkle VHT paint from ebay but it turns out a lot lighter than above

Check it out

i know red is a bugger to pick up properly on camera so maybe that cover aint as dark as you think.
a dark primer may help.
 
Thanks :) paint came off ebay at a steep price with the shipping of aerosols overseas. Alot of work went into the preparation but well worth it for the final result.
 
Some small changes for the moment, picked up this set of ukdm 98 specs. After selling the jdm 16" ones im after a set of these since.

Next up is to replace my ctr stickers with oem as the old ones were gone old & tatty. Looking for a set of 60mm go quality springs next if anyone knows of any :)
